July School Holidays in Broadbeach

Broadbeach on the Gold Coast is one of the most popular holiday locations in Queensland. Nestled between Mermaid Beach and Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach is a refuge from the hustle and bustle of Surfers and offers some of the best holiday accommodation for families on the coast.

Wherever you go in Broadbeach, you are only a few minutes’ walk from the Pacific Ocean and our glorious golden beaches. As a location, Broadbeach is a fabulous spot for family holidays who want easy access to all of the theme parks, to shopping centres and designer boutiques and of course, to lots of family friendly restaurants and eateries.

Families come here throughout the year to spend time together, to de-stress from their busy lives and to reconnect with one another. That’s because Broadbeach is not as busy as Surfers and gives you the time to really enjoy your holiday with your family.

Broadbeach Location - The Best of Both Worlds

Of all the holiday locations, Broadbeach offers families the best of both worlds - the opportunity for a quiet and peaceful holiday or lots of excitement and family fun.

Broadbeach has just about everything you need for a fabulous holiday and all within a few minutes walking distance of your accommodation. First of all if you want to go anywhere on the Gold Coast you can hop on the new tram lines that run from Broadbeach right up to the Gold Coast Hospital.

The trams stop right in Broadbeach and they run every 10, 15 or 30 minutes, depending on the time of day. This is a very easy and cheap way to travel around Surfers and Broadbeach.

If you can’t decide what to do, then you could start your day with a walk down to the beach, then stroll up for breakfast at one of the popular eateries in Broadbeach and take some time out at one of the kid friendly parks along the way. Then, maybe wander around some of the designer boutiques or check out Broadbeach Mall and relax for a late lunch alfresco style in the sunshine.

If you're wanting to test your physical abilities or looking to have a little bit of fun, the annual Gold Coast Marathon is on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 July 2015. The event attracts more than 27,000 participants of all ages across a number of races.

Also, if you love markets, the popular Broadbeach Art and Craft Markets are held right on the beach front, every first and third Sunday in the month. Broadbeach is central to everything on the coast and is the perfect location for family dining, shopping, swimming and relaxing.
